How to share my variation idea with a developer

Hello everyone, I thought of a new variant but I don't know what to call it and how to let the developers know, I'll explain how it works: There are only pawns and a king on both sides , the goal is to arrive with the pawn at the top, to promote it in turn (there is only the tower as a possibility to promote) then at the end to checkmate with the tower. I send you the link of the game, it's a study : lichess.org/study/II1gxhzs/1UnrsJ75
Well, you could build a team around a variant idea. From board position. I guess it would have to use the same core logic or rules as one of the existing ones. But with team required conventions, you could superpose said conventions.

Would not have the same automatic legal checks. maybe some rough discussions, probably some maturity (of psyche) threshold needed, so the proportion of competitive and cooperative drives makes the whole thing sustainable (what am I talking about, is this chess? could be anything right).

Just a suggestion.
u r literally sharing your idea with a developer right now, because you posted in the lichess feedback forum, which is where developers check for bugs and suggestions. Sadly, lichess isn't accepting variants anymore, and tbh i think your variant is kinda stale since there aren't any new rules added, which most popular variants have (very good for teaching endgames tho).
